A collab between me and @maybe-arts for the @kirbyoctournament!!
We each drew our own characters and then colored the opposite side. (Which is why the coloring on Techie and Nightmare is AMAZING hehe)
We had been hoping to finish it before the polls ended, but life happens! It was still a super fun experience. (When I saw our OCs were the daughters of arch enemies I just couldn't resist lol)
See under cut for WIPs, close-ups and and variations!
So familiar.
So close...
Thinking that you were just like them makes you feel disgust..
It's good that the past is dead.
Idea that sprouted in my head when suddenly feeling an unusual muse for Alyssum is that her petals made of soul could potentially make the blood glow... well, if she does go as far as to cut so much and so deep. No stranger to murder.
The text above refers to her unusual fascination of common bugs she kills, remembering how she used to be a commoner like them and hate it with every inch of her being. Seeing them dead brings curiosity and comfort in a weird way. Even if she is disgust by them, not for gory reasons but how much she sees them as filth.
"By the way - are those your friends back there?"
"Yeah!! The Aracca girl is Peony, the kitty cat is Vic and the Astral is Rifty! I've met them on the tournament, they also participate!"
"That's great to hear! Say, how about we invite them for a little picnic here? I reckon I've baked enough for all of us to enjoy!"
"Yay!!!! HEY PEONYYYY!!!! VIIIIIIC!!!! RIFTYYYYYYY!!!!! C'MON WITH US, DAD BROUGHT CUPCAKES!!!!!!!!!"
And here comes the secret character! Kirby is now available for asks as well!!!

as per usual, @kirbyoctournament
hey Olympea, did anyone ever call you - snrk - Green Bean? bc I can't help but think of this nickname when i look at you :D
Featuring a picnic with Princess Chiffon! (I hope you don't mind me putting your words in her mouth.)
+2 Nicknames!
+1 Not-yet-tragic-due-to-time-shenanigans memory!
+1 Sneaky Cameo
For some reason Galacta Knight's step seems to lighten around her and he gains a somewhat shy, but more refined and graceful cheerfulness that's very different from the regular bombastic and powerful Aeon Hero persona he has to put up for the public. Olympea doesn't mind. She's just glad to see her good friend thriving and comfortable around her! Oh! And bonus! Unlike her girlfriends he loves chatting about weapons just as much as her. (Bless her. I don't think she's connected the dots yet, guys.) Maybe she never will, considering the tragic endpoint of the Heroes of Yore narrative. I am normal about them. Fufufu.
(Yeah, so, I said I was going to take it easy. That, uh, didn't happen. I feel like I unlocked some kind of well of creativity and I'm just along for the ride. I mean, look at this thing! What is happening?! Full backgrounds, lineless painterly style?! Recognisable bushes?! I toyed around with textures and somehow made Olympea look like felt. I even figured out a way to give the lineart that slight bleed to make it look hand-drawn.)
Take a proper gander at this propaganda @kirbyoctournament
Can u please show me tangible proof that Chiffon is an evil little bastard so my boyfriend stops calling that evil creature a "lil guy who got a bit too silly"
nuh uh wym evil he's just a lil silly guy going about his whimsical adventures 😀
theres no solid proof ☝️😌 , but you KNOW something is horribly wrong when the person themselves don't have any mental illness or trauma, but everyone around him has some sort of trauma ether physically or mentaly
so @kirbyoctournament is starting again, and this year i'm entering my babygirl Chiffon!
She's very optimistic and open-minded, adventurous to the bones (that astrals don't have lmao) and wants nothing more than to follow her dad's footsteps - in becoming a hero, that is, not ruling a kingdom. being a queen is boring!!!
(side note for the tournament mods: you don't have to tag her by her full name, just Chiffon is fine, i use that name mostly anyways lmao
